Where To Buy Emergency Stop Buttons?

Where can I buy several inexpensive (red) emergency stop buttons? I
have looked many places for such buttons and the best that I could find
were Cutler-Hammer? buttons sold in a Ebay auction that I lost to a
fast last-second bidder. Any help is appreciated!

If you need Emergency Stop Buttons you need to pay real money for them .
Just go to Cutler Hammer or some other professional supplier and stop
trying to skimp the job.
Remember these buttons may save or lose someone's life and the finger
will point at the cheapskate who bought them on EBay.

Wot's Your Real Problem?
 
I am very sorry but I did not make my intentions clear. I am looking
for low price shutoff switches for a personal project that I am working
on where nobody's safety is actually in danger. These "emergency" stop
buttons, and I use the term loosely, could shut off a set of model
trains when a person is not near enough to the throttles after a
derailment. A very easy shutoff system to add and would be very useful
if I could get the some large red buttons that would be easy to hit
immediately.

Thanks!
 
Try asking a local arcade game repair shop if they have any big control
panel buttons for sale. Check in your Yellow Pages under Amusements. In
the old days these switches (such as the big buttons on _Asteroids_) used
big leaf switches, but these days they use Cherry microswitches that don't
last quite as long.

Newark Electronics carries a variety of these. I've used a 16mm one
by Idec that was considerably cheaper than the big industrial grade
versions.

Thanks a lot guys. I purchased some red pushbuttons from
AutomationDirect (22mm somethings) for a good enough price and now have
exactly what I needed. Thanks again!
 
Could easily use tac pushbutton switches and produce you own custom made
button. Sounds as if you may be an avid hobbyist, this would not be
extremely difficult to produce with the appropriate tools.
